142 has started an Official thread about GFMPH that is all about discussions of what it is and why you should try to attend. Please keep those conversations about GFMPH on that thread.

This thread is for those to sign up and let us know that they will be attending. I will update the attendee list every time someone signs up. It will always be in this first entry.

I am asking that if your name appears on the attendee list that you send me an email (its active). Please tell me how many are in your party and T-Shirt sizes. When you send me an email I will put together a group mail list (by HW screen name) to send out updates, hotel info, etc.

Since I am retired and WorriedGuy is not, I have, as in the past, offered to take up the administrivia slack for him. If you email him you may not get an answer for a couple of days, he is one busy dude. I on the other hand am retired and living the good life here in FL.

Here is the attendee list as I now have it:

142
CajunJeff
GoodLife
Halbert
Jazzman
NOLAvette
Nomar Schottzenkeister
Paul1959
PeterDisAbelard
Pratoman
Red Wing
Rob2
Sonny3
Steve in Cleve (formerly Suzhtz)
StevenH
Tigerfan
WorriedGuy
Worryworts

We are only 31 days away from the official kickoff of GFMPH Rochester. This will be the 12th gathering of GFMPH since it was started by WorriedGuy in Sept 2009. Since its inception it has grown from 3 guys to at times 60 attendees. There has probably been about 120 different folks that have made one or more.

A lot of life long friends have been made as well as a lot of lives have been changed. Hope to see you there.

Sign up as soon as you can, I need to have the shirt and other goodies order in before I leave FL about the 20th of September. You guys know me I can't wait to get there, so I will be there early.

Regretfully, I am not going to be able to make NY this year. Every time I go to one these (NY or BR), I leave with a warm heart, having seen old friends and made new ones. The finger lakes area of upper NY is very nice along with the weather in the Fall season. Thanks again to WG and wife for hosting this and I look forward to seeing you and the others at the next GFMPH.

Startech, really sorry that you won't be able to make it. Hope to see you in March in FL.

142, that word was spelled that way on purpose, to emphasize the title.

You know I'll be there! I already got time off from the boss, and my employer approved some vacation time too. :-)

Sorry you can't make it, Startech. Maybe next year.

Sonny & Worried Guy: Let me know if there's anything I can do to help out. I'll be in touch.

I have had to make a correction to the attendee list. I had previously listed Adjust as coming, it is DonJ that has informed me that they will be attending.

Regretfully, we will not be able to make it this year. We do however, fully plan on going to Florida. Will probably only be 2 days but hey, we will be there.

The first informational email has just gone out for those of you on the attendee list posted at the top of this thread.

Please check your emails and reply to me so that I will know that I have a good email address for you.

See you all soon,

Sonny

Hey! What are we?!?!? Chopped Livah?!?!
We are attending!!!
And there are a few fence sitters who are still thinking about showing up.

Jeff the Chef and Simon have kindly agreed to help feed us. The cookers are in good shape.
The nearby hotel has reserved a block of rooms at the tax-free, 501(c)3 not-for- profit rate.
The airport tour is all reserved and the Scotch tasting (supplied by 142) is almost all set. I never knew there were so many kinds!

And the pee pad weighing scale is all Armor-Alled® and ready to go.

I can't wait!!!

Worried Guy;

With a sad face and a sad heart, I regretfully have to inform you that Dorothy and I can't attend this years meeting!!

Our daughter and oldest (17) granddaughter are singing in a 200 plus choir in Nashville, TN, the week of the meeting. This is an annual church convention of our faith with 20,000 plus in attendance. We're having to take care of our other three grandkids that week.

I know everyone in attendance will have a fabulous time!

If all goes well, next spring, we're looking forward to seeing everyone in FL.

I'm really sad!

Pratoman, really glad to hear that you are making the trip. Your name has been added to the first post in this thread where I have listed the confirmed attendees.

Can't wait to meet you,

Sonny

Can't wait to meet the new folks! Will miss several of our regular friends.
It's been a little crazy, so we can't wait for this R&R with such a great group! :)

The list has been updated to add Tigerfan.

Tigerfan, that is great news that you will be there. We look forward to seeing you again.

Sonny, DonJ and Wendi will not be able to attend. Sorry to make you revise the list after you added us. A relative passed away in the NW where I grew up and I need to try to get up to Seattle to visit family members. The best time to do that is around GFMPH time unfortunately. We are planning on Florida!!! Thank you.
Posted 9/2/2015 10:53 PM (GMT 0)
I have sadly and reluctantly removed DonJ and Wendi from the attendee list. Dagnabbitt.

Don & Wendy, Pat and Inatr very sad that we will not get to see you guys.
Posted 9/5/2015 1:41 AM (GMT 0)
All of you on the attendee list please check your emails. I have sent out the second administrivia notice.

Thanks,
Sonny
